Narrative:
Taxiing south on taxiway B line approaching taxiway B south. We were given further taxi instructions by ord ground to runway 22L via txwys B and D. As we prepared to move past taxiway B south a company B737 crossed our patch at high speed and cut the corner across our bow and appeared to be coming in on taxiway C line. He had no regard for our movement and we had to stop very abruptly to avoid collision. He was well off the yellow centerline and created his own taxi route. A very close call, but no injuries, etc, reported from back. I flashed my taxi light to draw his attention to us but he never changed his path.
